Musical farewell to the summer of 2020 with IetVest

On Friday (28.08), we celebrated the end of summer 2020 with live music and jazz vibes. Latvian group IetVest – Inese Bērziņa, Eduards Lipāns and Emīls Gāgans offered listeners a variety of musical pieces from covers to original songs from Inese Bērziņa, supplementing each one with colorful instrumentation.

The photographs of the event were prepared by Reinis Strautiņš.

Inese Bērziņa and Eduards Lipāns launched their musical cooperation in 2017 in the Inese Berzins Quartet group. Later, the two musicians jointly created the group IetVest, which plays both original music and jazz songs, as well as Latvian and world hits. Trombonist Emīls Gāgans joined the group in 2020.

Inese Bērziņa – voice, piano, rhythm instruments.
Eduards Lipāns – suzafone, didgeridoo, mouth harmonics, voice, okarina.
Emīls Gāgans – trombone.
